Gerald McRath is entering the final year of his contract with the Titans. "It's a big year, but every year is a big year because you never know what year is going to be your last one," the linebacker said. While he once seemed to be on his way to establishing himself as a solid NFL linebacker, McRath now recognizes the realities of increased competition and a ticking clock. "In my situation, it's like your senior year in college," he said. "You don't know what's going to happen after this year, so you have to take full advantage of your opportunities. "If you go out, you want to go out with a bang."
